Emaar Properties has launched the Palmera, the Spanish-style clustered villas at the equestrian and golf-themed Arabian Ranches.

Each cluster comprises six single-family, double-storey, semi-attached villas open on three sides.

The total area of each residential unit consists of two and three bedrooms, ranging from 1,850 square feet to 3,080 square feet. The Palmera homes are expected to be ready for occupancy by May 2007.

Prices start at Dh688,888.

Sales open today at the Arabian Ranches Sales Centre and will continue from 9am to 8pm seven days a week. "Palmera offers an alternative living experience to Gazelle town homes and is unique in its own right," said Naaman Atallah, director of sales for Emaar Properties.

"Each home in the six-home cluster is open on three sides and is accessed through a central entry courtyard. This certainly makes for an interesting lifestyle experience. Since the homes are affordable, it will allow people who yearn for living in the Arabian Ranches to realise their dream of living in a desert paradise."

Arabian Ranches recently launched Terra Nova and Al Mahra both exclusive, upscale developments that have attracted those who wish to be within easy driving distance of their place of work.

Earlier, all three phases of the Gazelle were a success with the town homes being sold out before the end of the launch day.

The Arabian Ranches has a 7,800-yard Ian Baker-Finch/Nicklaus Design world-class desert course and an equine centre.
